Summary: Hmmmmm......?
Comment: Ok, this book was very good, i read SUMMER OF THE DRAGON before this one, and, by far, this one was better. The characters are gorgeous, still a little under developed, i couldnt seem to believe the herione, Susan, but we had more history of James, so i thought more of him.
The only thing that i found, what's the word?, odd? Was that at the end when the heroes were supposed to be all congratulated (they were to a degree)The honory constable told them that all their efforts were in vain. Which was like a big slap in the face to me, but other than that; im happy w/ it.
The setting is lush and well-written and i can so totally see the glens where James and Susan were hiding in.
This is a very good summer read, like SUMMER OF THE DRAGON its light, funny, suspenseful, w/ some, scratch that word, LOTS of romantic tension.

Summary: Highly readable mystery set in Scotland
Comment: This is a delightful mystery set in Scotland. While the mystery is a good one and the characters interesting (Susan, the Scottish history buff and James, the son of Highland nobility), what is most fun is the very atmospheric evocation of Edinburgh and the Highlands. Peters manages to convey lots of Scottish history and legend in this book while keeping it very readable. I highly recommend this for anyone travelling to Scotland. It will heighten enjoyment of the trip.

Summary: Adventure and Romance in Scotland
Comment: Susan, a young American graduate student, has always been fascinated with Scotland. She has immersed herself in Scottish history, studied hard at school, saved her money and is now in Scotland preparing to spend the summer working on a dig of a Pictish site. Life is perfect until she is approached by an eccentric street person, has her hotel room searched and finds herself and a new acquaintence accused of murder and chased across the Highlands.
It's a light fun read but the plot is rather contrived. Susan's character is annoyingly inconsistent. She is presented as bright and well educated but then she is shown wandering off with people she just met and allowing herself to be talked into doing things she knows she should not do.
If you are looking for an enjoyable way to kill some time this will do but don't expect anything on a par with an Amelia Peabody because this isn't it.
One interesting tidbit, Susan's professor back home in Illinois is Dr. Arnold Bliss....I wonder is he's any relation to Vicky?
